Gov. Ayade Suspends Commissioner, MD Water Board

Cross River State governor, Ben Ayade, has directed that Gabe Odu Oji, Commissoner for Water Resources and Igile Oju Igile, Managing Director, MD, of the Cross River State Water Board, proceed on indefinite suspension from office, effective today.

When the governor paid an unscheduled visit to the Water Board premises at 9:00am this morning, it was discovered that the Commissioner and MD were yet to resume work, an hour after both should have been on seat. Irked by this development and the percieved unseriousness of the two, Ayade expeessed his displeasure through the suspensions.

When www.calitown.com spoke with Christian Ita, S.A Media and Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ita confirmed the suspensions, adding further that he was doing a press statement to that effect.
